Obviously we hope that everything will be stabilized a bit and that the activity can be carried out as usual. As always, you can send bids through our website, by e-mail, by post or fax, or participate Live on the same day using the Philasearch platform, or require a telephone connection to be held during the auction. All requests must be received by Friday 4 June at 17 (local time). Since there is no meeting at fairs, which unfortunately were cancelled, to give the opportu- nity to more people to see the material “live”, viewing of lots will be longer: it will start on Monday, 10 May by our premises and will continue from Thursday 3 June in the auction room. It is always necessary to arrange an appointment with our staff. Unlike other times, the lots (even the bulky ones) have all been photographed, even though some of them only partially just to give an idea of the whole; and in some cases there is the pdf of the complete album. The auction will be publicly and live auctioned on Saturday 5 June. Access to the room will only be allowed by appointment with registration of the name. We therefore invite all those interested in attending the auction in Vignola in person to communicate it as soon as possible; places will be limited according to the rules of distancing. Vaccari will guarantee everyone strict compliance with the safety regulations established at regional and national level and by the company itself. If the situation does not allow it, the auction will be carried out behind closed doors only through live participation, by telephone and clearly all the correspondence bids received previously. Any changes will be communicated in our site, in our information and social channels. We wish everyone the best and we are confident that we can continue carrying out the auc- tion in the best way.
